The shape-shifting monster lurking around the rooftop to feast babies through their mama's tummy's pregnancy played by imposing young beautiful Alma Moreno might be one of the best portrayal of an Aswang" in the big screen. Peque Gallaga (Writer and Director) cultural research about the mythical creature is incredible. I can talk about this Depiction for an hour and just have fun with it, played by the childhood memories of what an Aswang could look like.

After the campy and lighter tone of DC's comic book to film adaptaion of Batman: Forever (1995) and Batman and Robin (1997), DC Cinematic adventure seems to find its real tone. A darker and more serious type of movies. It all starts with Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy and followed by Zacks Snyder's benevolent re-telling of Superman's story Man of Steel, which eventually lead to created Warner Bros and DC own movie universe which now known as "DC Extended Universe".

Alejandro G. Inarritu's Birdman (2014) is undeniable, one of the most enthralling story driven film with a bits of it's fantastic visuals through a magical film-making technique, that makes the whole film felt it was shot continuously without any cuts, and with all honesty, it was the only film I've seen that was made by Alejandro G. Inarrtu. However,  sometimes, one film from a filmmaker is enough to give the director's love, and my interest about Alejandro starts to grow and grow.
